You had experienced most things life on the road can throw at you!..

Was going to a farm drop way out on the coast this morning here in pembrokeshire, going down a narrow back road when i met an elderly lady in a landrover, she started to back up then began to veer into the hedge blocking the road, first thought was bloody woman drivers! then as I got closer I saw something was up, ran to landy to find the lady slumped over & gasping for breath , no phone signal , nobody about , no house near, a dog going mad in the back trying to get me through a cage, I checked her pulse, spoke to her but she couldn’t answer , went through her handbag to find a phone or some ID or medication , nothing but an asthma pump… gave it a shake and a few pumps , got her to breath slowly and relax , after a few more pumps & about 40 mins she came round & said she was good to go, didn’t want a doctor or ambulance or to be driven back home , just to get on her way…I was quiet taken back afterwards, how different it could of been , my first thought was heart attack , she was in her 70s & quiet a large lady, & if the dog hadn’t of been caged I wouldn’t of got near to help…

Cheers Dave.

It’s good that you kept your cool and managed to bring her round.

Sod’s law about the lack of phone signal and remoteness of the incident.

I guess this makes you a hero.:sunglasses:. Well done!

Nice to hear it had a happy ending. :slight_smile:
